The teacher will use a balloon (non-metal material), charge it by friction and use it to pick up pieces of
paper. Neither of these objects where metal or metal like but they were able to hold a charge briefly.

Self-Assessment: Mid-0 Unit Review
● The students will have 7 minutes to complete this assignment. The teacher will explain the
directions.
● Students will be given a checklist with all objectives on it.
● Students will assess the comfort level, create a goal to increase their confidence in the material,
and the come up with strategies to achieve their goal.

students to take out their “ Prediction, Observation, and Revision “ Worksheet (which is also their Exit-
Ticket). The teacher will ask the students to put away their pens and pencils. The teacher will hand out
different colored writing utensils. Teacher will also handout the Mid-Unit Self Assessment.
Closure- Exit Slip
Using their new knowledge, students will work independently to revise what they wrote in the
“Explanation” section (without erasing) and rewrite the revised version it in the “Revision” section with a
justification of their changes using there colored writing utensils. The student will have the ability to do
the demonstration while completing the Exit Ticket in order to help the revision process.(CFU-Content,

Research and/or Theory RBIS #1- Prediction, Observation, Explanation, Revision Worksheet:
Supporting Instructional According to “Cues, Questions, and Advance Organizers” Marzano(2001) believes that
Decisions (at least 2) organizers enhance a student’s ability to retrieve, use, and organize what they already know
about the topic. According to the UDL Guidelines, 6.4 Enhances capacity for monitoring
progress and 9.3 Develop self-assessment and reflection. By using “Prediction, Observation,
Explanation, Revision Worksheet” worksheet it will help students keep a record of what they
knew about induction and movement of electrons previously and what they learned afterward.
It will help organize their thoughts, pushes them to self-regulate their misconceptions, mind
map the adaptations to their schemas and create self-driven learners.
RBIS #2- Physicist”Yes”
UDL Guidelines support providing students with multiple means of Engagement. it also
supports minimizing threats and distractions (7.3) by implementing an age-appropriate way of
gathering the student's attention and limiting possible distractions in the learning environment.
By using “Physicists, Yes”, I signal to my students that I need their attention in order to give
the next order of directions. Using this age-appropriate method, I do not have to yell, compete
for their attention, and optimize class time.
